i was born
with a heart too big to fit
inside my chest
and a soul bigger than my body
so i have chosen
to leave pieces of my heart
in the places my feet have known
in the people i have loved
in the words i have read
in the beauty my eyes have seen
and my soul-
i have scattered it like seeds
and i have left parts of it
in songs,
in poetry,
in the laughter of children,
in the arms that have held me
and the hearts that have loved me
As children who look up to see
Wonders that claim we are the
Ones chosen as children, children
Of  the most righteous and holy
The God of salvation who cares for us
We are the chosen, the children God
Constantly watches over with care
And with His awesome love
Always surrounded and forever held
Reassured and anchored in love

BLACK and WHITE,
DARKNESS can't fade her LIGHT.

GREY, A perfect shade--blended,
Her aura, an array of VIVID colours;
A permanent rainbow--extended.

I may
be soft
but at least
I’m not
afraid
of my own
skin.
How great is the wonder that I
Believe in the greatness that
There is in God
How gentle and touching
There is in God
With mercy to cover the world
Proclaiming we are the one's
He adores
How great is my God
How great is the universe
How awesome to be
A part of His choice
Walking in greatness
Deep in the channels
Of my heart and my soul
Whispering how much
He cares for the way I live
Preparing a place in His heaven
For all eternity, being one with God

He is two -
Like a vinyl record--
he has an 'A' side
and a 'B' side;
guess which one
I love to listen to,
on repeat,
over,
and over,
again?

He is two -
Like cuttlery--
A knife
and a fork -
one is sharp
and cuts deep,
and one picks me up;
guess which one
I love to spoon?

He is two -
Both,
the sun,
and the moon;
and I,
... well,
I was doomed
from the beginning,
just like a shooting star;
guess which one
I fell for?

When you feel
like you want to scream,
or run away,
like you want to disappear,
or when you feel completely lost,
all you really want is to be found.

said the waves around me
as i stared at them from
the other side
of a thick glass bottle
floating in the ocean

you're simply
a colorless flower
no one shall ever see
how flawed you are,
therefore, my dear,
you won't get out

and the waves kept dancing
up and down
to the rhythm of the sunrise
taking me further from the land
i still don't know how to end this piece
